We had a great experience with Chef Tim. He arrived with delicious fresh fish flown in from Japan the night before. He was very professional and very knowledgeable. He explained everything and answered all of our questions. The recipes he taught us were delicious. He was very patient with my teenage granddaughters. We all loved the experience. We made so much food that we were able to share it at a birthday dinner that evening.

Chef Tim came to our house fully prepared with four courses ready to cook! We loved having him over. He was great with our teenagers and our pets. We loved seeing him take command of our kitchen and utilizing every square inch of the space with volume and efficiency we have never seen the room used in such a dynamic and efficient way. He made him self at home and transformed our space effortlessly. We will have him back! Delicious!
